Rekha Gupta on Friday (April 10, 2026) called for a greater role for women in decision making while taking part in a signature campaign supporting the Nari Shakti Vandan Act at University of Delhi.

Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister underlined the urgent need to increase women’s participation in governance and policymaking and said that meaningful change can only happen when women occupy decision making positions, enabling them to address issues that directly affect society, families and their own lives. “Delhi government initiatives such as ‘Lakhpati Bitiya’ and ‘Anmol’ are outcomes of a sensitive and inclusive approach aimed at strengthening women’s empowerment and social security,” Ms. Gupta, who is the only woman Chief Minister among Bharatiya Janata Party ruled States in the country, said.
